In addition to our super sumptuous 2.3 feet square oversized napkin, our napery range has just extended to include a smaller dinner and lunch size. And, all now available in plain weave, single damask and double damask sure to suit any table where a modicum of good taste might be enjoyed.

Patina is something I talk about quite a bit. Be it with things we wear, use or simply look at, not just heirloom linen. Some cultures certainly struggle with this concept as they aim to make everything plastic-perfect. I see it all too frequently in those from other countries who buy Irish country houses for their history and then proceed to give it a gloss destroying its very heart, soul and many layers of a long-lived story. My advice some time ago to someone entering into a house very close to my heart was simple..."the secret here is not what you do...it's what you don't do". I often wonder if it fell on deaf ears.

A big thank you to Editor, Rupert Thomas and Nathalie Wilson at The World Of Interiors for their coverage of Francis M in the hot-of-the-press August 2017 issue. Rupert has been sleeping on our linens for over a year now so thrilled to have made it onto the Antennae list of things to watch.
